The strong and the Weak.

Everything has an atmosphere as much
as the world has. Human beings are
surrounded in this way by a spiritual
appreciate part of themselves, not en-
tlrely organized. These atmOspheres
impinge on each other. The strong over
shadow the weak and devour them. An
infant is always in danger To allow
them to be promiscuOusly fondled and
kissed is a crime. The finer the or
ganism the more sensitive; the grosser
the organism the less sensitive. A
swarm of bees gets ragingly irritated st
the approach of one man; it is soothed
and willing to be handled by another.
A sensitive plant is simply plant that
cannot endure the approach of your
hands. The irritability of people is often
the result of the encroachments of other
peoples atmosphere.-M Maurice, NJ. D.,
in Globe-Democrat.

A FUNERAL IN EGYPT.
The Novel Procession and the ShriII
Voiced Weepers-The Interment.

The Novel Procession and the ShriII
Voiced Weepers-The Interment.
A funeral In Egypt is, indeed, a strange
sight, and the first one the visitor sees as.
tonishes very much. At the head of the
procession march a corporate body of the
blind and a certain number of men, who
proceed at quick step, singing a most
jubilant air, while swinging themselves
from right to left. Behind them comes
the funeral car, or rather a sort of bier,
bearing great red shawl, in which the
body is deposited At the extremity of
the bier, on perch, is placed the turban
or the tarbouche of the defunct. Two
men carry this bier. They follow with
such high spirits the movements Of the
head of the cortege that the corpse,
rocked in every direction, seems to Jump
under the shawl that shrouds it. The
women bring up the rear, some on asses,
some ON foot.
The first row is formed of weepers or
rather screamers, who send forth toward
heaven at each step the shrillest notes.
The weepers hold in their hand a hand.
kerchief, with which they are not solicit
Gus of wiping their eyes perfectly dry,
but which they pull by the two ends be-
hind their head with gesture that would
be desperate If it were not drOL. On ar
rival at the cemetery they take the corpse
from the bier, to cast it, such as it is into
the grave. The grand funerals, however,
take place with much more solemnity.
An important parsonage is hardly dead in
Egypt before his friends and acquaintance
hurry to the house; during one or two
DAYS they eat and drink at the expense of
the dead, or rather his heirs, indulging in
the noisiest demonstrations.
When the hour of the interment ar
rives a scene of the widest character is
produced The slaves and women of
the house throw themselves on the corpse
and feign a determination to hinder it
from passing the threshold. This lugu-
brious tragedy is played cOnscientiouly
they snatch away the coffin; they Delay
each other with blows, and the most vio-
lent and frightful clamor is heard. AT
last the procession leaves the house and
retires to the cemetery, preceded by cam
els loaded with victuals, which are dis
tributed to the poor hurrying in crowds
along the road. All along the road the
mourners and friends of the family fight
for the honor of bearing the bier for an
instant, and thus it passes or rather
bounds from hand to hand amid the
most frightful disorder. The interment
ended, every one returns to the house of
the dead to recommence the festivities,
dancing and the mortuary demonstra-
ons.-BroOklyn Magazine.

Wen paid for Whistling.

There is now in New York lady who
whistles at private entertainments, but
for a consideration. She gets $25 night
for whistling in New York drawing
rooms. and is said to have all the engage
ments she wants. The husband of this
Iadv was well off at one time, but he lost
his money. Whistling was her great ac-
complishment, and when she heard that
This Gift could be turned to pecuniary ac-
co11nt. she saw no reason why she should
not aid her husband by her gifts in this
line. and she has succeeded beyond her
expectations. -Argonaut.
